Among them, some hot spring has heat temperature 99.8° F and 40. 50°F respectively. Pinle (Maingmaw) old city is one of the largest pyu ancient cities on the entire kyaukse plain. It has an area of 2.6 square miles and it is roughly circular in shape. It has two inner enclosure walls which the inner one is circular and the outer one is rectangular in shape.

Thus, Pinle old city has good access to point with north such as Muse on the present Chinese border and may well in the past have served as trading centre with Yunan. The original name of Maingmaw is Pinle Myohaung. Ancient cornical do not mention the name of Mingmaw. Taungtwin Khinkyiphyaw the author Lecturer, Department of Archaeology, Yadanabon University Yadanabon University Research Journal 2019, Vol-10, No.1 2 of Zambu Concha Kyam mentioned this area as Pyu Detha. According to this, Pyu Detha consists of Hanthawati, Yadanapura, Makkhara, Pinle, Kaungsonpye, Alakappa, Leikaing, Tagaung and Sri- Ksetra. Now, the site is named as Maingmaw depending on the name of the village situated inside the old city. Maingmaw is a Shan word, meaning shan island. Pinle is included in Lei- twin 11 kharuin (district). Mlacsa (Myittha) 11 kharuin has been known as Lei- twin kharuin during the time of Bagan period. These Lei- twin 11 kharuin of 11 villages are as follows; 1 - Pinle (Pan Lay) 2 - Myitmana (Plañmana) 3 - Myittha (Mlacsā) 4 - Myingkhongdaing (Mrankhuntuin) 5 - Yamon (Rāmun) 6 - Panan(Panan) 7 - Mekkhaya (Makkharā) 8 - Tapyettha (Taplat sā) 9 - Thindaung (San ton) 10 - Tamot (Tamut) and 11 - Khanlu (Khumlu:) Later in the region of king Badom in Konbaung period, the whole Kyaukse plain was formed into 9 Kharuins. The 9 Kharuins of Lei- twin consisted of Sawhla, Pinle, Myittha and Pyimana depanding on Panlaung rivers, and Myaunghla, Myinggondaing, Panan, Mekkhaya and Myinsaing depending on Zawgyi river. The nearest mountain range to the west of the site is Shwezedi range and the paralled one is Pyatkhaywe range which is the highest mountain among the other hillocks in Kyaukse plain. To the northeast is Nat-Htaik range pass which also served the important path ways from the Shan highlands to the plains. By such nature of environmental factors, the region of the old city takes favour for strategic position. Pinle is one of the most important of human settlement on the landscape features, thus it is in the early Urban societies.
